Spoon or pipe meringue mixture into 3 (4-inch) rounds onto each of 2 parchment or foil-covered baking sheets. Use a large spoon to make a large indentation in the center of each round, building up the sides of each round as much as possible.
Bake 1 pan at a time on center oven rack for 55 min. or until dry and golden brown.
Remove from oven; cool completely on baking sheets. Carefully remove meringues from parchment.
Toss berries together; set aside.
Place chocolate in small microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1-1/2 to 2 min. or until chocolate is completely melted, stirring after each min. Just before serving, fill meringues with the berries and whipped topping.
